Good morning/afternoon/evening/why are
you still up? I thought I'd cover whatever time you are reading this?
:)

Tuesday, we had received a referral the
previous week, but we couldn't find the address on any map, so we
tried the area that we thought it might be, but still couldn't find
it, oh well. That evening, we decided to visit some less actives that
live in the far reaches of our area, and got there shortly after they
had gotten home and they welcomed us in. The mom had started working
on making dinner, so we just sat there listening to the kids tell us
stories, and we ended up help them with some of their homework, it
was a lot of fun.

Nothing much happened Wednesday or
Thursday.

Friday, we had Zone Meeting, and the
last thing that was talked about was the mission culture, and the
three things people want us to focus on is Be accountable to God, Be
Christlike, Being Spirit Driven. Afterwards, we went to our BML's
house to help him cut down more trees. We didn't use any fire this
time, but we did have an adventure. The person with the chainsaw (it
wasn't me) was cutting the two largest trees in our path, and he got
the first one down easily enough. Then when he was cutting the
second one, he didn't notice that the tree was leaning the opposite
way that he had cut it and the saw got stuck with less then a quarter
of an inch of wood connecting the base to the rest of the tree. We
tried to push it to get the saw out, we tried cutting with other
tools, but nothing was working well/safe enough, so after about 45min
of this we finally just tied a rope to the tree and their car and
pulled it over just fine. After all of that, we were all tied and it
was getting dark, so we went in, they fed us, then we had
coordination.

Saturday, we tried to find a less
active in the farthest part of our area, but weren't able to find it
(I found it later on the map), but the drive was fun.

Sunday, Church was good, people bore
powerful testimony on the plan of salvation, temple work, and
missionary work, then in Sunday School we talked about the gathering
of Israel.
